Cut the thirteen and carom off the high right side of fifteen and lay em between the fifteen and four. Make sure the thirteen lays in front of my hole, at worst on the long rail.
I agree with your assesmant of the situation, like OPH says "you can't make ice cream out of horse shit" I like moving the 15ball in some way while pocketing the 4ball, that will give you some flexibility in terms of options next time back at the table.Here is a situation where the old adage regarding difficult situations require simple solutions. I go into survival mode here and give up the four ball. I would choose to go rail first soft and into the four. The four caroms off the fifteen and into the pocket while the fifteen moves toward the eleven. The cue ball will drift harmlessly to the bottom rail about a quarter diamond off the side rail. From here I am still in a bit of trouble, but trouble which should be far more managable to deal with. I do not believe there is any place up table Hall can leave the cue ball where I cannot safely clear at least one more ball and with patience I will equalize the table while mantaining my score advantage.

I don't see that shot as an option. The 4 is too close to the rail to kick behind it and the 15 is too far away from it anyway.
I would shoot the 4 straight in and stop or roll forward a little.

13 ain't on the table.

Hey Dennis,
Considering you posted the wwyd I can only assume SVB did not choose the shot I described.
